Aboard the 45′ Lagoon luxury catamaran you trade a typical dayboat for a small floating resort: three staterooms and a shaded galley for downtime, forward sunpads and a flybridge for sun and wind, and uninterrupted 360-degree views of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The vessel is crewed and provisioned — open bar, morning and afternoon snacks, and snorkel equipment are included — making it equally suited to low-key relaxation and short bursts of adventure.
